Can't pip install bimpy on raspberry pi os :(

I can't get bimpy to pip install .... keep getting the following error:

Looking in indexes: https://pypi.org/simple, https://www.piwheels.org/simple

I even built gl3w from source but still no good as bumpy is supposed to ship with it's own gl3w built in.

Ay ideas?

Python 3.7.3 (also tried 3.9.0) and Raspbian version: 10.8

I ended up just cloning and building from source - but pip installing would have been much nicer.

I also have the same problem:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "F:\pythonCode\bimpy\setup.py", line 47, in
from libs.gl3w import gl3w_gen
ImportError: cannot import name 'gl3w_gen' from 'libs.gl3w' (unknown location)

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "F:\pythonCode\bimpy\setup.py", line 50, in
import gl3w_gen
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'gl3w_gen'

The computer has Visual C++ 2015 installed

Same problem as well, happening both on Windows and and Kubuntu 22.04

This isn't an OS issue this is an issue with the source package on pypi being broken and not including the gl3w_gen.py script.

use a virtual environment with python version set to 3.8, this fixes all issues.
